About Field Court Junior School

Field Court Junior School in Gloucester was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. While the overall effectiveness was not judged on that visit, inspectors awarded Outstanding for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes. Leadership and management, along with the quality of education, were judged Good. This represents a change from the school’s previous inspection in 2014, when it was rated Outstanding across the board. On the most telling exam metric, 79% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in 2023/24. That figure is well above the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59% and places Field Court 2nd out of 25 primary schools in Gloucester. Nationally, the school sits in the top 13% of all primary schools for this measure, and in the top 11% within the South West region.
